User Reviews

Nice addition felt like they actually tried to enhance the franchise

Impressively gives the original a run for it's money. Maybe not as creepy, but that does lend to the dream sequences being more fun.

Very good installment. Not the best, but maybe the second best. Great kills. Sometimes a little silly but definitely good.

It’s the best of the sequels, with some of the series’ most creative kills, and is just the right balance of silly and serious.

The tipping point for when the series gets too silly. Has some fun kills and good spooky moments. Worth watching if you enjoyed the first 2.

Prime example of a horror sequel done right. Welcome to prime time, bitch

Peak of the franchise and one of the best horror sequels.

One of the best horror sequels, and made Freddy the iconic villain he is today - for better and worse. Welcome to prime time, bitch

My favorite of the first three films.The returning characters really makes this a lot better and Freddy's backstory is very welcomed.

If one film summed up the 80s for me it would be this. A joy from start to finish- nothing more nothing less.
